Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact PMJ Appraisals, LLC

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get an expert listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your home, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing houses for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a really important (and very common) step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you've hired the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion of value before signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where PMJ Appraisals, LLC can help you! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

In addition to helping you decide on a realistic selling price so your home will entice potential buyers. A professional appraisal from PMJ Appraisals, LLC can:

Improvements to add value to your home

PMJ Appraisals, LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?"
